Between Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa, turning David Tennant back into the Doctor feels like a total cop out from Doctor Who.
The Big Picture Fans of Doctor Who are currently in a state of pure excitement. It is only understandable. After all, November 25 will see the release of the first of the three 60th anniversary specials on BBC and Disney+. Said specials will see the return of fan-favorite Doctor Who performer David Tennant, now as the Fourteenth Doctor instead of the Tenth, as well as of beloved companion Donna Noble . Showrunner Russell T.
Release Date March 17, 2006 Cast Jodie Whittaker, Peter Capaldi, pearl mackie, Matt Smith Seasons 14 'Doctor Who's Popularity Has Been Dwindling Over the Years These may sound like harsh words, but, when we take into consideration the numbers surrounding Doctor Who, it’s hard to look at Tennant’s return any other way. Ever since Jodie Whittaker became the face of the series, the show’s viewership has been on a free fall.
In contrast, Davies’ time as Doctor Who’s showrunner saw a big surge in popularity for the series. Again, according to Doctor Who Guide, in between the show’s return with Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Davies’ final specials with Tennant, the series’ average viewership rose from 8.08 million to an all-time high of 10.70 million people.
As for Gatwa, Tennant’s casting as the Fourteenth Doctor says is that he is incapable of bringing in viewers on his own. The idea is, of course, to draw in viewers by promising them the same thing that they loved so much all those years ago and then keep them tuned in for Gatwa’s first adventures.
